Summary

This pilot study will enroll 110 adults with chronic low back pain to see if their voice recordings can reveal how much pain they are in. Participants will read a short text aloud, and researchers will analyze features like pitch and speech rate. The goal is to compare these voice patterns to standard pain and disability questionnaires, potentially creating a new, objective way to measure pain.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive, objective way to measure pain using voice, helping doctors assess pain without relying solely on patient reports.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study (110 participants) and may not find a strong link between voice features and pain. The results may not apply to all patients or settings.
